Chapter 344: Entering Too Deep

"I have to drink something first......" In the dimly lit room, a bright light shone out from the wall, and the whole room was a little blue, the **** man muttered to himself.

In front of him was a neat row of milk bottles, both large and small, and the milk in them.

The man stared at the milk bottles with reddened eyes and continued to mumble, "Wait a minute, if the milk goes bad...... The milk is already spoiled and I shouldn't have picked it up with my right hand......"

A look of dazedness, irritability, and fear alternated on his face, his body trembled slightly, and deep down he seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle, trying to cheer up but unable to cheer up. Coupled with the clear, reddish scar on the upper body, this anxious, intense feeling of uneasiness spread unbridled, and anyone who saw it couldn't help but want to hold on to their arms and rub them twice.

“Cut!” Scorsese in the director's chair called out, "Take a five-minute break and do it again." ”

The people around them breathed a sigh of relief, the boring setting in the studio, and the actors' negative but surprisingly infectious performances, made them all a little impetuous, and Scorsese also considered letting them rest. It's just that when people started to move and the buzzing sound sounded, Sean, as the male lead, was still standing there motionless, and his shoulders were obviously up and down.

"Sean? Are you alright, Sean? An assistant was the first to notice this, and asked aloud, and told everyone to look over there.

Sean, who was standing there with his upper body, stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air, not knowing whether he was saying that he was okay or telling them to leave him alone.

A few people, you look at me, you look at you, they don't know what to do, even the assistant who was supposed to send a towel over. This quickly alarmed Scorsese, who told the photographer to stop, not noticing Sean's appearance until the assistant spoke up.

"What's wrong?" Scorsese immediately raised an eyebrow when he saw Sean standing there, and as an experienced director, he roughly guessed what was going on.

"Call him, but be careful." He said to the assistant who was holding the towel.

After getting clear instructions, the assistant also walked over with a hard head, they have been running around the set for many years, although they are not as experienced as Scorsese, but after a while, they can understand what may have happened. When the assistant approached, he carefully reached out and grabbed Sean's shoulder and shook it gently, and the latter waved his hand and muttered, "I'm fine." ”

The assistant and the person who heard it couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then put the towel on his shoulder: "Rest now, Sean, let's come back later." ”

Sean waved his hand, raised his head a little, and looked irritated: "It's okay, I'm right here, let me be quiet for a while." ”

"This ......," the assistant looked left and right in embarrassment, "Let's go over, they have to come over and rearrange it." ”

"I said it! Let me be quiet here for a while! Sean suddenly roared angrily, and his red eyes stared at each other fiercely, as if he wanted to eat people.

The startled assistant involuntarily took two steps back, not knowing what to do for a while, and the people around him also looked at him with shocked eyes.

Fortunately, after a few seconds, Sean suddenly shook his head vigorously, covered his face and rubbed it vigorously, and then apologized to him: "I'm sorry, I just ...... Sorry......"

"Are you alright, Sean?" Scorsese walked over at this point.

"I'm fine, Martin, I'm fine," he repeated, "I'm just a little stressed...... That's why I lost my temper just now......"

"Really?" Scorsese looked at Sean very seriously, "I think you should take a little rest, it just so happens that today's shooting is about the same, and I still want to adjust the rest of the film, you can go back first - don't you still have something to deal with?" ”

"No, no, Martin," Sean shook his head like a rattle, "I think it's just right now, we've been filming for a few days, Martin, although there are a lot of problems, but there are also a lot of gains, why not finish this scene in one go?" You know, if I don't grasp it now, it's hard for me to grasp the essence of this character again! ”

It's just that, having said that, the tiredness between his eyebrows is extremely obvious, but his expression is extremely stubborn.

Scorsese looked at him with a complicated expression, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "I know you work hard, Sean, you did give me a lot of surprises, and it is because you performed so well that I wanted to shoot this scene in advance." However, you also have to understand that only by saving yourself can you create a more perfect character, and your current situation is very bad, I say this unabashedly, so I ordered to go back and rest! ”

I have to say that as an experienced and well-known director, Scorsese is very good at persuasion, he can see what kind of state Sean is in, and he can also see what causes him to be like this, so he uses "only rest can create a more perfect character" as a reason for persuasion, rather than "It's just a role, it's not worth it".

To be honest, he actually has some regrets in his heart, Sean did give him quite a lot of surprises, let's not talk about the details of the playboy, the details of the obsessive-compulsive patient shown when he played against Jude were very exciting, and even he felt that Hughes should have been like that when he was sick. If Scorsese had some DiCaprio at the beginning, he could actually feel the same way, but after seeing Sean's rich and knowing how to stop with his expression, he found that his previous decision was very correct.

It was in this situation that he made the decision to advance Hughes's most torturous inner drama.

The general content is that after the end of World War II, Pan Am wanted to completely monopolize international air routes, so it used the transport planes that Hughes Air failed to deliver to the military to make a big fuss and wanted to defeat Hughes in one fell swoop.

At this time, Hughes's cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder have become more and more serious, especially after he had a problem piloting a plane and fell down but did not die, so he didn't like to appear in front of the public very much.

But the Senate member who has something to do with Tripp initiated an investigative committee and asked Hughes to be consulted in person, which Hughes couldn't accept.

So, the huge pressure and insecurity made him lock himself in the company's cabin, not seeing anyone, stripping naked, and suffering from the fear and suffering from his heart.

In such a one-man show, there are not too many lines, and the key to the performance lies in the actors' expressions and body language. Generally speaking, although there are some troubles, as long as an experienced actor is competent, if you want to play well, if you want to play the essence of it, you need to be difficult.

In Scorsese's opinion, although DiCaprio is not bad, he has a problem that is difficult to correct, that is, he always likes to show character anxiety with a tight brow. It's okay to use this method once or twice, but it's always like this, not only will it be criticized, but it will also affect the interpretation of the character.

But Sean's appearance surprised Scorsese greatly, because in terms of performance in details, he left many first-class actors behind, and many details have the finishing touch.

What Scorsese didn't know was that Sean liked to delve into details from the beginning, and always liked to set a lot of unused details for the character, and Minghella warned him at the beginning that too much attention to detail would only make the character's image shattered, and he should design the details in a targeted manner.

It was also because of Minghella's teaching that Sean slowly changed his way of acting, and then in the process of constantly playing different roles, he understood how to design the details to be just right.

In addition to this, Sean also worked very hard, not to mention the short film he paid out of his own pocket, he watched the Hughes information from Scorsese many times, and many passages can be memorized, and he imitated the voice of speech according to the recording left by Hughes, and in the end he could barely hear his original accent.

This dedication alone is enough to be praised, not to mention the natural integration from playboys to obsessive-compulsive patients, and now the explosion when filming this one-man show.

This was what De Niro was like when he starred in "Raging Bull", so Scorsese fell in love with talent, even though he wanted to finish the scene completely while Sean was still at the critical point of anxiety, so as not to find such a state again, but considering the pressure he was under, he finally gave up.

In the past ten years, although Scorsese has also met many young people who are willing to work hard or have good talent, there are very few who are talented and willing to give everything for the role.

So he decisively stopped filming - it was almost the same today anyway - and persuaded him to rest as much as possible, if Sean drained his energy and talent because of this role, it would be too much to lose, such an actor would definitely stand on the stage of the Oscars and be generous, while the Oscars would not necessarily like his films, even if he had given De Niro the title of Best Actor.

When he is rested, he may adjust his condition, and then better interpret the feeling he is in. Scorsese thought so comfortingly.

If Sean could understand the other party's hard work, he might be grateful, but at the moment he is still struggling with the role, still in an anxious mood, so he doesn't know anything. But instinctively, he still knew that Scorsese's words were correct, so he hesitated and slowly walked to his position, and when he finally sat down with the support of his assistant, his expression became a little calmer.

However, this alone was not enough, so when Sanders, who was no longer his assistant but had come to the studio to see because of something, appeared in front of him, Sean's first words were: "Is there marijuana?" ”
